Korfball drill: zone defense

Suitable for the following techniques: defense

Zone defense

  • 3 attackers against 2 defenders.
  • Attack within a radius of about five metres around the basket.
  • All attackers may shoot.
  • The defenders must try to score as few goals as possible.
  • 5 x 1 minute. After each minute turn around.
  • If the number is right, you can specifically train zone defence during the game: Zone defending.
  • The defenders let go of their opponents as soon as they get further than about six metres from the post.
  • The defender then has only one task: intercepting the ball by grabbing the rebound.
  • This also includes letting the attacker shoot from distance.
  • After all, if they do not shoot, they cannot catch the ball.
  • Instruct certain attackers to give more pressure than others.
  • The art of collective backfield defending is to give the pure shooters so much pressure that they prefer to leave the shot to a teammate who is as free as a bird (but who is deliberately left free by the defence because it is known that he 'can't shoot anyway').
